PRO-AD-M Maritime Anti-Drone System - Advanced Maritime Antidrone Protection

Unmanned aerial vehicles create unprecedented security risks for commercial ships, ports, and offshore platforms. Securing these assets requires dedicated technology capable of operating in high-humidity and high-salinity environments without constant human monitoring.

The PRO-AD-M maritime anti-drone system addresses these challenges by merging passive signal intelligence with automated RF countermeasures. This integration establishes a continuous protective dome around moving or anchored naval assets.

What is the PRO-AD-M maritime anti-drone system?

The PRO-AD-M maritime anti-drone system functions as a reactive, automated counter-UAS shield for marine environments. It integrates real-time signal processing with automated mitigation tools to stop aerial threats before they reach critical vessel areas. Because the technology operates passively, it secures ship parameters without revealing the host vessel location through radio emissions.

Operating without active radar emissions allows the crew to maintain complete electromagnetic camouflage during sensitive transits. The system silently scans the radio spectrum, identifying threat signatures and matching them against an internal database. This automation ensures that maritime security forces can focus on immediate navigation tasks while the perimeter defense remains fully active.

Detection capabilities of PRO-AD-M within airspace zones

The detection module monitors surrounding airspace up to 10 kilometers away to identify incoming threats early. This module achieves a detection rate of up to 98% for known UAS types by analyzing radio-frequency signals. Furthermore, PRO-AD-M identifies drone transmitters within a 3-kilometer radius even before the aircraft takes off.

Real-time tracking displays show the exact position of the drone, its launch coordinates, and the current location of the operator. Security personnel receive instant audio and visual notifications containing the flight direction and threat type. This raw data allows the crew to make rapid tactical decisions during transit through high-risk waters.

The passive detection array processes several critical indicators during airspace monitoring:

• active control frequencies used by the incoming threat;
• video transmission channels and telemetry downlink signatures;
• GPS coordinates of both the aircraft and the remote control unit;
• signal strength metrics indicating target proximity.

Having this live data allows crews to prepare countermeasures before the threat enters visual range. The system processes these indicators automatically, reducing operator workload during complex naval operations.

How does PRO-AD-M execute radio-frequency neutralization?

Upon threat confirmation, PRO-AD-M initiates targeted radio-frequency neutralization across a full 360-degree radius. This jamming action disrupts data, control, and GNSS signals within a protective dome of up to 1,000 meters. The targeted drone is then forced to land immediately or execute its programmed return-to-home protocol.

The neutralization process supports simultaneous tracking and suppression of multiple targets. This multi-target capability protects vessels against coordinated swarm attacks targeting critical infrastructure. Because the suppression is directional, it minimizes interference with friendly shipboard navigation and communication equipment.

Primary naval and infrastructure use cases for Maritime Antidrone defense

Implementing a reliable Maritime Antidrone perimeter protects high-value commercial and military assets from hostile surveillance. Ports, coastal shipyards, and liquefied natural gas terminals utilize these automated shields to secure their geographical boundaries. The hardware is constructed to resist corrosion from salt spray and extreme open-ocean humidity.

The defensive technology is deployed across several key areas:

• security coverage for naval patrol boats and offshore oil platforms;
• defense of commercial shipping lanes and high-value cargo transits;
• coastal surveillance along sensitive national borders;
• landing zone protection during amphibious operations.

These deployment scenarios demonstrate how the system adapts to different operational environments. The automated response ensures that defense remains active even during night transits or reduced visibility conditions.

Integration parameters of PRO-AD-M on modern vessels

Installing the PRO-AD-M hardware requires minimal modification to existing ship infrastructure. The central processing unit fits into standard 19-inch racks, while the compact antenna arrays mount on existing ship masts. System software updates occur through secure network protocols to ensure compatibility with newly developed drone frequencies.

Power demands are optimized to run on standard shipboard power grids of 110 to 220 volts. Operators configure the control interface to display alerts on existing bridge monitors, saving valuable command station space. Regular calibration of the RF sensors ensures stable long-range performance during heavy sea states.
